THE DIFFERENCE.

1t is but few weeks ago since Sampson,
of the Saiina Journal, referred to the
editor of The Union as an ardent lady's
man. Now listen to the unreliable fellow
The home rule party is gaining power
in Kansas, much to the dislike of Marsh
Murdoch, Geo. Martin and other cham
pions of male dominancy. Marsh and
George have holy horror of the broom
stick in the moulinet movement, and are
stemming the advancing tide with all the
power and ability they can demmand.
They allege that 'the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world under their indi-
vidual and collective protest.
We are aware that Marsh Murdoch does
not like the women, for he is always in a
row with them, but Simpson must be more
consistent toward us-J. G. Union.
The most deserving of this world are
never appreciated by their own generation
If all the men, aye, if but majority of al
the men, of this world but held the same
high notions of respect, honor and defer
ence due women that the editor of tho
EAGLE holds, this world would be akin tc
paradise Instead of voting and rules and
policemen's clubs, instead of penal laws
and prisons there would be only homes
honor and happiness.

DON'T WANT SALVATION FREE.

Winfield heretofore has had the reputa-
ton of being an orderly town. In fact
many people have been led to believe that
town was inclined TO observe the precepts
of religion, which to a certain extent may
be true. But if the Daily Visitor can be
relied upon, the followers of the meek and
lowly Nazarene take upon themselves to
Judge what is true religion and wha sort
of religion should not be tolerated. 1t
seems to have been ordained by these self
constituted Judges that the Salvation Army
must go. And the army people have
been shamefully abused. These people
have HEADQUARTERS in this
city and they march in the streets and blow
their horns and beat their drums and sing
their religious songs but Sunday is about
the only day in the week that their noise
can be heard above the rattle of wagons
and cars, and sound of hammer and all the
other noises that so to make up busy
Wichita. We have noticed the few people
who claim to be annoyed are nine times out
of ten the class who can enjoy noisy po-
litical meeting or a regular old fashioned
break down dance. And we suspect the
people who want the Salvation Army driv-
en- out Of Winfield do not often have their
religious meditations disturbed by the
army noise

INGERsoL ON KANSAS HOMES.

The views of Robert G.. Ingersol on re
ligious subject may be erroneous and what
he says disbelieved by thousands but the
following statement in regard to the
homes of happy. contented people, i.
true in every respect;
"A nation of happy homes is the bright
est dream of craftsmanship. Home is the
foundation stone-the bulwark of society
the basis of government and where love
and contentment abides, dwells that powe,
which makes states and nations strong and
great.
Kansas is great commonwealth OF
happy homes. The people are doing well
and consequently are contented and happy.
The soil is fertile, the climate mild and
healthful, the winters short, the summers
pleasant, and, with a market upon either
SIDE all kinds of business profitable, hence
the people of this state are satisfied, and
propose to live and die on Kansas soil.
They are proud of the state and cherish
its grand memories with grateful devotions.
They love its law, revere its institutions
and are loyal to its government No state
in the union possesses so many advantages
and they appreciate the fact.
They are charmed bv the grandeur and
picturesque beauty of its scenery and revel
tire of the splendid panorama of widening
view that stretches into the dim distoncf
until the earth and sky meet and hold each
other in foud embrace.
To this land is invited the emigrant from
the ice bound fastness of the north-the
flooded fields of the middle states and the
malaria breeding swamps of the south
Come back. In our patronizing sunshine,
turn out generous soil and grow rich from
glorious yield. Come and build you q
home for old sge-where your declining
years will pass as pleasant dream, and
your posterity will rise up and call you
blessed.

NOTES FROM KANSAS.

The following excerpts are taken from
a letter written from this point by pros
pector to the Vincennes, Qnd) Herald:
1t cannot be denied that there is much
enterprise and vim in these western towns.
They are made by boom and push. They
are veritable wonders. Perhaps no better
illustration of how towns are made in
this country-no better specimen of
western city-can be found, than
Wichita, Kan, city of about thirty or
thirty five thousand inhabitants where but
a few years ago was only all Indian post
A city whose crowded thoroughfares and
magnificent business blocks fill the new
conner with surprise, and cause him to
fancy himself in Chicago or Kansas City
Wichica and "Marsh" Murdoch ought to
be reckoned among the leading wonders of
the New Southwest Marsh has made
Wichita, and there can be no question that
Wichita has made Marsh. Many of your
readers have never heard of Marsh Muir
dock and his EAGLE. The one
other is his paper, the great morning daily
low according to the amount of string
Marsh pays out. 1t is safe to say that the
EAGLE has done More than all other agen-
cies combined to boom Wichita. Its long
and extravagant editorials have gone into
all parts of the land and been copied into
newspapers, and when people have read of
the Peerless Princess of the Plains" the
Magical Mascot of the Meridian, "The
Queen City Of The Arkansas Valley" The
Winning Wonder of the West" "The
Blooming, Booming Beauty" they have
been seized with desire to see this magical
city, to visit this land outIivaling the most
extravagant dream of Arabian Nights.
Wichita will continue to be a
city of considerable importance, with a
dozen or so railroads, growing
wholesale trade, and a rich farm
ing country filled with thriving towns
paying it tribute, but not one can deny
that both the city and country have been
overestimated. There are now
lying in the vaults of the eigh,
banking institutions of this city, in clean
cash. upwards of four millions surplus be
longing to Wichita men which has been
largely made and employed in real estate
transactions. From the boom thousand
original owners of lands and
lots which cost but song
have become rich" Yet it must be
admitted that the efforts and desires of the
EAGLE are for building up a substantial
city For his influence in helping to inter
est outside capital, the editor Of the EAGLE
sits and writes his editorials in an office
among the most elegant of any in the
United States, with carpets woven ex-
pressly for it, and furniture made to order
of costly woods and most elegant designs
All of the appointments of this office are
the most complete. Furthermore the edi-
tor may be the next governor of Kansas.
With all the appointments of first class
city,-churches, schools and colleges, good
railroad facilities, a large wholesale trade
elegant hotels and private residences,
Wichita will continue TO develop and hold
the first place among the cities of the new
Southwest.

THE FRISCO ON TO DODGE.

The following is an extract from the re
port made by the directors of the st. Louis
& San Francisco at their annua! meeting
day before yesterday al st. Louis:
Agreements have recently been made I'm
der which the road of the Kansas Midland
Railway Company is to be built from
Wichita, Kan, where it will connect with
the road of the San Francisco company
through Burton and Lyons, to connection
with the Kansas Division of the Union
Pacific Railway at Ellsworth, distance OF
about 100 miles. The road is to be com
pleted in divisions, which the San Francis
co Company is to operate under lease fol
ninety-seven years from the time of COM
pletion.
1t was thought best to organize a new
corporation in Kansas for completing the
Wichita Il Western railroad from King
man to Dodge City, and the Kingman,
Pratt 4 Western railroad company was
created, and has built forty-four miles of
road westwardly from Kingman, the for
mer terminus. A merger of the two cor
porations will be made. and the road COM
pleted, equipped and paid for, as hitherto,
out OF proceeds OF first mortgage bonds
secured upon the property, the San Fran
cisco assuming no pecuniary obligations,
but owning one half of the capital stock
This road connects with the Kansas divis-
ion of the San Francisco system, and runs
through a fine agricultural section of the
state. The distance from Wichita to Dodge
City is about $50 miles

A FEEBLE BUZzER.

The Omaha Bee, before shooting off it>
mouth so promiscuous like about Wichita,
might save point in casually glancing al
our bank clearings. Omaha probably
never went wild on a BOOM" but fol
that matter she don't seem to go very wild
on clearings. When it comes to business
and prospects for the future Omaha bears
the same relation to Wichita that Nebraska
bears to Kansas. Nebraska is good enough
and Omaha is good enough, for their kind,
but Wichita, in ten years, will be as much
greater city than Omaha than the latter
place is greater than Beatrice or Platts
mouth.

AT 1T AGAIN.

Among the business transacted at tn,
late womans suffrage convention at In
dianapolis, was the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions: To secure members of the
next legislature FAVORABLE to a constitu-
t'oaal amendment prohibiting disfranchise-
ment on account OF sex; to secure mu..1ci'
pal suffrage with the right to hold office in
all municipalities; that women shall share
in the management of benevolent and
penal institutions; demanding local
option law which will enable VIC.
men to vote when the sale of
liquor is the question; demanding that the
age of consent be raised to IS years; call
ing for conventions IN all congressional dis
trIo- ,n od,...o,o o., or,ondment tn the na-
tional constitution prohibiting disfranchise-
ment on account of sex. Also Mrs. Helen

torial race in Kansas between Mrs. Cougar
and Marsh Murdoch. -CommOnwealth.

MAYBE THE NEXT MAN.

Hanging In the office of the Ohio Loan
and Investment Compony is a fine steel
engraving of Senitor John Sherman. In
q corner of the frame is card bearing the
words ''our next president, placed there
by James Robinson to whom the picture
was given by Mr.. sherman himself and
who is faithful adherent of Ohio's great
statesman and the Nations former great
secretary of the treasury. 1t is undenlable
that there is strong sentiment, or that
which is stronger than mere sentiment, a
desire, developing throughout the Republi-
can ranks of all the states, to see the sturdy
comprehensive, indomitable statesman and
patriot of Ohio standard bearer in the next
great national political conflict.

WINFIELD AND WICHITA.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
The Winfield & Wichita has sold its
franchise top. L. D. Latham & Co., the
contractors who built the Bluff City branch
of the st. Louis 81 San francisco road.
Their engineer corps started on prelimi-
nary survey to Wichita this morning, and
they will commence construction at once.
When built it is understood the road will
be turned over to the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Companys Kansas extension.
The line will parallel the Southern Kansas
and the Denver, Memphis & Atlantic rail
ways from this city to Oxford, distance
of ten miles, ard will parallel the Denver,
Memphis & Atlantic from Oxford to Belle
Plaine, distance of about fourteen miles.
Just how soon the road will be completed
is not known, but as the distance from this
place to Wichita via the proposed route is
about forty miles, it will doubtless be under
operation inside of four months.

A NEW RIVER OUTLET FOR GOU
From the Globe Democart.

From the Globe -Democart.
The plans of Jay Gould never unfold
gradually but always after he has made
his arrangements SO that the interested pub.
lie and more seriously interested competi-
tors can not thwart them. The move
ments of representatives have been little
more mysterious than usual recently, and
it has just developed that he has success
fully taken the first steps towards the com
pletion OF one of the most important
schemes of the present or recent railroad
booms. 1t contemplates relieving St.
Louis and Chicago of the necessity of dis
trlbutlng grain and even live stock 10 the
east and European markets. and
draining the grain producing sections of the
West and southwest into the Mississippi
river below the ice point, thence by barge
to New Orleans and by steamer to foreign
points, or 10y the same means of transports
ton or rail to eastern and domestic points
of consumption. This will not be pleasing
information for St. Louis and Chicago. OF
TO the trunk lines which have had In grain
shipments heavy return traffic to the east
but it is the quiet surprise arranged for
them by Mr. Gould, and from information
secured in railroad circles yesterday AT
present there appears TO be no remedy fol-
it. Mr.. Gould has the territory and can
not be hampered by any competition OF
irksome association in the absence of pool
arrangements. The present event
hinges on the recent purchase Of the
Little Rock, Mississippi and Texas, the
Little Rock, Mississippi River & Texas,
and the Little Rock & Fort Smith roads.
Ii Is also remarked in this connection .hs,
for the purpose of avoiding seeming
watering of stock the latter purchase was
paid for with old Iron Mountain stock.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WICHITA

From the Philadelphia Press.
Having received letters asking for a true
statement, through your columns, of the
woman's vote cast in this city at the recent
municipal election, would say that the
Wichita EAGLE has misrepresented and
fOully slandered the good and true women
of Wichita, by stating in recent issue
that only 100 Wichita women voted, and
that those were the ''demi-monde. The
truth of the matter is simply this: Not
withstanding the utmost endeavors OF the
EAGLE to persuade women not to register,
by telling them over and over again that
none but disreputable women would 60 to
the polls, and that all good women would
remain in their homes and leave the voting
to DE men, 600 women registered, and of
these between 800 and 400 voted-Caro-
line lie Beau, Nj. D., Wichita, Kansas,
April 16.
Caroline DeBeau. NJ. d., whoever she
may be, if any such there really be, in the
above statements, in so far as they refer to
the EAGLE, simply stopped over in very
promiscuous and wreckless way. This
paper has, touching the matter in question,
told the truth on all occasions. and it defies
the authors of every such Misrepresentation
as the above TO do their worst We might
add that the above is but fair illustration
of what the EAGLE has often claimed,
to-wit; the proneness of women who aspire
to public life and notoriety to put their
foot in it. The Philadelphia Press and its
inf hat hot IL,
did say-and now says again-was that
out of four or five thousand women in
Wichita about six hundred registered,
which registered number went off in three
factions of about equal numbers, one fac
ton voting one way, and one faction
voting another way, the third faction
or one third of the whole number refrain
ing from going to the pools. As for what
per cent Of those voting belonged to the
class that Caroline De Bean, NJ. d., names,
We are prepared to state if any body is os
pecially anxious to know and the Statement,
can be backed up by an official oath.
The Press and its readers are further in
formed that the movement so far as WITCH
ita, so far as the state of Kansas, was con
cerEed, was a miserable failure. and tina,
the innovation proved burle>que as &c
any beneficial results, and that any state
ment to the effect that the participation OF
the women in the election even tended to
any reformation in, or elevation of. politics.
in the remotest degree, is only on par
for truth, with the words of their Caroline
De Bean, NJ d., and as uncertain o:
meaning as the title which Caroline De B
attaches to her name, with what authority
we know not.

AGAINST THE WESTERN FARMER

The interstate commerce law came III bad
time for western grain producers. 1t is re-
ported that the ocean rates on wheat from
our country to Liverpool are lower than
ever known before 1t seems that large
number of the tramp" steamers, as indie
pendent steamers are called, have been
bringing iron ore to the United States, and
have taken return cargoes of grain at a
price that has entirely demoralized the reg.
ular lines. Rates as low as 2 cents bushel
from Boston is reported. The west has
not felt the benefit of this cheap ocean rate
ON account of the increase in the cost of the
'1ong haul from the prairie warehouses to
the seaboard. But it has helped producers
nearer the ocean and those having large
stocks in the seaport warehouses. The old
cheap long haul system would have made
it also of material benefit at the west.-To-
peka Commonwealth.
